RE:economic superpowers soon
by Harish Manwani on Jun 24, 2008 06:48 PM

India's infant mortality rate is comparable to that of sub-Saharan Africa. India's literacy rate is amongst the lowest in Asia. India's roads are amongst the worst in the world. Indian cities are unhygienic cesspools of filth and degradation. India's business capital Mumbai is a city full of slums. India's metropolitan cities do not have uninterrupted power supply. A large number of India's political leaders have criminal records. Castes and classes in India fight to be classified 'backward'. Half of the places in India's premier institutes are allotted purely on the basis of caste. India does not have the spine to stand up to China's bullying. Superpower? Good joke.
